Hi All, I am making a pack out of 1.43 oz cuben. When making the shoulder straps should I cut the 3/8" foam smaller than the actual strap that it is going in. On first attempt I made the stap and the foam the same size. They don't seem to fit together well. If I make the foam smaller is there a standard subtraction I should use?
Thank you

Maybe subtract twice the thickness of the foam from the should strap width ?
The subtraction is based upon your seam allowance and the thickness of the foam. You'll subtract the seam allowance and the foam thickness from the foam to get a perfectly snug fit. This can be done simply by making another pattern of the shoulder straps, and tracing a line around the inside from the edge measured in this distance you calculated at the beginning.
That makes sense. I will give it a shot. Thank you.
